Does a nine-month-old baby need to be tested for trace elements?

Patient's question:

Does a nine-month-old baby need to be tested for trace elements? Is it valuable to test for trace elements? I wonder if I need to measure bone density to find out if my baby is deficient in calcium? Does the hospital need to draw blood to measure bone density?

Doctor's answer:

Dear consultant, if the baby has symptoms of calcium deficiency or poor diet, a trace element test can be conducted. It is recommended to provide the baby with foods rich in calcium, such as eggs, milk, fresh fruits, and vegetables, and to get plenty of sunlight and outdoor exercise. The above is the advice for the question "Does a nine-month-old baby need a trace element test?" I hope it helps you, and wish you health!
